GMPGMG part has same notes as a major scale - Major 3rd (Ga3), perfect 4th (Ma1) and Pa. The difference comes with the Ri ('r'), since Raga Bhairav has the small Ri/ R1 (Komal Ri)/ minor 2nd while the major scale has a Shuddh Ri/R2/major 2nd.
G M (N)d, d, P

The small Ni, minor 7th note, Komal Ni is not a part of the Bhairav raaga usually, but in this phrase, the dha note is arrived to from the komal ni note.
G M
Notes: E F The FM7 chord (notes: F A C E) is a possibility.
(n) d
Notes: Bb A# The Bb7 chord (notes: Bb D F Ab) is a possibility, with all notes except the D note within the raga.
The Bbm7 chord (notes: Bb Db F Ab) has all the notes of the phrase and within the raga. The Db6 chord (notes: Db F Ab Bb) is another chord with all the phrase notes.
P
The Em chord, the C major chord
P G M
PM (notes: GF) gives us the option of the Csus4 chord (notes: CFG).
(G)r
'r' the R1 note, minor 2nd note. Db note when C is the root. The Db major chord (notes:Db F Ab) is an option with all notes within raga. The A#m chord (notes: A# Db F) is another option with the Db note, though the A# note is not within the strict raga notes.
S
The C major chord.
See Video-04-bhairav phrase G M (n)d, (n)d, P, P G M (G)r, S The video uses some of the chord options in one possible way. You can find your own ways of arranging the chords, following the basic logic.
Version: G M (N)d, (N)d, P, P G M (G)r, S
If the same phrase had 'N' - the shuddh Nishad, major 7th note, the chords for the n-d part will change.
Notes: B Ab The E major chord (notes: E G# B) has both the notes of the phrase and all the notes are within the raga. The Db6 chord above will become Db7 chord (notes:Db F Ab B) when the Bb note is changed to a B note.
See Video-05-bhairav phrase G M (N) d (N) d P P G M (G) r S
G M (N)d, (N)d N S”, N S” (N)d N d P
The phrase in terms of notes when C is the root, Sa: E F B Ab, B Ab B C, B C B Ab G
For this example, let us decide to split the big phrase into small phrases as shown
below:
G M (N)
Notes: E F B
For this example, as shown in the picture below, we have decided to play the C#7 chord
(notes: C# F Ab B) over this three note phrase.
The C#7 chord has the F and B notes from the phrase, while the E note is not included.
As long as the E note doesn’t clash with the chord, it is alright.
